Golden Aura Iowa

✨Join us for a meaningful night of reflection and community as we craft personalized remembrance ornaments. Together, we’ll share space for healing through art, sound, and story — weaving love, memory, and hope into something beautiful to keep or gift during the holiday season.

This gathering is part of the Memory & Meaning Series, a monthly community offering designed to support bereaved hearts through expressive arts, sound healing meditation, and somatic practices that soothe the nervous system and uplift the spirit.

Whether you’ve experienced recent loss or carry an old grief, you’re welcome here — to create, breathe, and remember among friends who understand.

🕊️ What to Expect:
* Gentle guided reflection and ornament creation
* Soothing sound meditation
* A compassionate space to share stories and memories (optional)
* Connection, comfort, and calm

No art experience needed. All materials provided.

🌟 Presented by:

🌾 Feeling Grateful 🌾

A big thank-you to everyone who walked, donated, or shared information about this year’s CROP Hunger Walk! 💛 Every little bit of support helps make a difference for families in our community and around the world.

We really enjoyed walking together as the Golden Aura team — it was such a meaningful way to give back. I wish there were photos of our team in the gallery, but we were missed for a group photo and didn’t receive a team sign this year. Still, it felt wonderful to show up, walk with purpose, and be part of something that uplifts others.

✨ You can view photos from the walk here: https://footprintsandglitter.shootproof.com/gallery/cropwalk2025/
